Earlier on in our podcast, we had an episode in which we gave advice to our newlywed selves. Today we want to revisit that topic a bit, but rather than talking to ourselves, we want to share the wisdom we've gained with young wives. Sponsor Thanks to Married Dance, a Christian marital aid and sex toy store, for sponsoring this episode. From the Bible Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 Resources   Episode 32: Advice for Our Newlywed Selves  Episode 43: Dealing with Sexual Baggage  The Bad Plan of Bartering for Sex - Hot, Holy & Humorous Embrace a Sexual Growth Mindset - Hot, Holy & Humorous  What I Wish I'd Known Before the Wedding Night - Hot, Holy & Humorous A Letter to My Newlywed Self: Age 25 - Hot, Holy & Humorous Faithful Counseling (online therapy with a fellow believer through Better Help)  Episode 153: Practical Tips for Reaching Orgasm Unlock Your Orgasm: Through a Christian Lens by Bonny Logsdon Burns Orgasm Webinar - ONLY $10!

Seasoned Wives' Wisdom for Young Wives

In this week's Sex Chat Quickie, Chris gives you four tips on dealing with a gag reflex during oral sex.

Dealing with Your Gag Reflex (Quickie)

 When we talk about romantic attraction, we think of personal charm, visual appeal, and that spark of chemistry when a certain person is near. But for today's episode, consider this scientific one from Merriam-Webster, defining attraction as "a force acting mutually between particles of matter, tending to draw them together, and resisting their separation."   We're not just particles, but we want to be drawn toward our husband and to resist separation from him (and vice versa). But attraction doesn't stay the same over the whole of our marriage. Today, we talk about how we can keep attraction going or revive it if it's been lost. Sponsor Thanks to Share the Soap for sponsoring the episode!

You've probably heard that sex is good for your husband or good for your marriage, but what about you? We share our thoughts on what's so great about sex for WIVES. Listen in! Sponsor Thanks to Married Dance, a Christian sex toy store, for sponsoring this episode. From the Bible  So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun. Ecclesiastes 8:15 (NKJV)   So God created mankind in his own image,     in the image of God he created them;     male and female he created them. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. Genesis 1:27, 31   “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.
